All this Abbey Road talk put this in my head. I know it's not from that Beatles album, but the inside of my head is a strange place.

Running is stupid, but so is lifting weights on a leg press machine. I feel like I stepped on a landmine, time for sleep.

Running isn't stupid, it's just more boring than cycling.

Running was my primary form of exercise for well over a decade. But on the rare occasions that I do it now, it seems so slow compared to my high-speed cycling.
